Add image to Navigation Bar Back Button

Question

I want to have the back button with "< [IMG]" instead of "< Back" which is by default.

let barAppearace = UIBarButtonItem.appearance()
barAppearace.setBackButtonTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffsetMake(0, -60), for:UIBarMetrics.default)

with this I have removed the text but how to add an image next to the "<".

Can't do it w/o "<" in image ? Even I thought of doing it by image only but later on if it is possible to replace it so it would have been good. — Nitesh, Dec 27 '16 at 12:32

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(image:UIImage(named: "ic_authors_detail_back.png"), style:.Plain, target:self, action:"backButtonPressed");
backButton.tintColor = UIColor(hexString: "#ffffffff")
let leftBarButtonsArray = [backButton]
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems = leftBarButtonsArray

Here is the code to add a button on navigation bar.Hope this helps

I don't want to use "<" in image. – Nitesh Dec 27 '16 at 12:36
So where I am using "<" ? – Amanpreet Dec 27 '16 at 12:37
This replaces whole "< Back" with image. Am I correct ? Sorry haven't tried it but I think that. – Nitesh Dec 27 '16 at 12:37
Yes, it is. But as per your requirement either you can use an image having "<" or only use that icon "<". – Amanpreet Dec 27 '16 at 12:42
